SANA'A, July 24 (Saba) - The Yemeni people prepare to celebrate this occasion every year as part of their religious heritage that they preserved it through generations.. Stressing that the principle of Wilayat (guardianship) is what guarantees the continuity of the divine path and bridges the gap in front of the nation’s enemies.
The Wilayat Day which falls on the eighteenth of Thu al-Hijjah every year.
Day of Wilaya or as also known, Al-Ghadeer, historically is the day on which the Prophet, Mohammed, declared Imam Ali to be his successor. The occasion included a set of events that took place in the last days of the Prophet's life. As a direct order from Allah, to stop all those accompanying the Prophet while departing Macca after Hajj, the Prophet delivered a sermon appointing Imam Ali as the only one qualified to the Islamic Nation after the Prophet.
Eid al-Ghadir is Muslims feast, and is considered to be among the “significant” feasts of Islam.
"It clear that the perfection of religion and the fullness of grace was the one that ensured the continuity of the divine approach, not from the position of the prophecy, but from the position of the guardianship."
The importance of celebrating this event comes from the need to stay attached to Imam Ali and his way of representing Islam.
